SCOTUS Says 'Hold My Beer' & Orbánism is at the Door (+ Biden's Known Unknowns)


Listen Later

In this episode, Alex decides to rain on everyone’s Fourth of July parade by talking about the recent Supreme Court decision in Trump v the United States. This was the case surrounding presidential immunity that Trump’s legal team had pushed through district and appellate courts before it finally was heard by SCOTUS. This decision went 6-3 (with all conservative judges supporting the case), and while it strayed from granting the president absolute immunity, it blurred the lines for future presidential actions and granted the president almost absolute immunity. Alex worries that this convoluted decision doesn’t directly define official and unofficial actions and will make it hard for courts to try a sitting president for illegal actions.
